One of the
largest ships in service, dwarfed only be the Enterprise Class, the Newton
Class is one of the most active ships in service.

The Heavy
explorer can be credited with a large number portion of the map that has been
filled in through Starfleet Exploration.

ship is not abundantly equipped with weaponry when compared to classes such as
the Constitution or the Enterprise
she can still hold her own and given her size and speed she can hold her own in
most conflict situations.
